No Insurance - Not My Fault

What is the name of your state? Indiana
My husband was parallel parking our car. A car thought they could make it and drove around. He ran his car into the front driver's side of our car. Do we have to pay to get his car fixed?

Whose fault was this accident?

Our vehicle is vehicle 1 and it is stated that the reason for the accident was unsafe backing.

If you are saying you are at fault, then yes, you must pay to get the other person's car fixed.

But how is it my fault? My husband was backing into a parking space. His rear end was in the parking spot. The guy decided to drive his vehicle around the front of our car (the part of our car still sticking out in the road). He hit us. We have a witness that will state this.

You will have to be more clear.

I was not there.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Start all over and explain it as if you were telling a blind man.

Sounds like a 50-50 deal to me.
